About this mod
122 tracks, mainly old-time, folk and blues of the American south. Has a mix of instrumentals, thematic ballads, and just some fun songs. Best enjoyed over the PA system at The Castle, or while patrolling the Commonwealth with a loyal hound.

Replaces Radio Freedom's current tracks with one hundred and twenty-two (122!) new songs that make the station more upbeat while promoting the,*ahem*,"red-neck" image of the Minutemen. If you have ever been lulled to sleep listening to the Minutemen's resident violinist rehearse for a recital that will never be held, please download this mod.
The majority of the songs are old-time, blues and folk songs from the 1920-30's, with production values I find more appropriate to the fallout 'vibe'. I've tried to heavily favor fiddle music to keep the general tone one would expect from the station. It should also be noted that this mod exclusively features artists of the American South. This is my small protest of the lack of Fallout titles set below the Mason-Dixon (I don't want to talk about BOS, don't bring it up).
Let me know if any of the songs need attention regarding the volume levels, everything should be about the level of the station
announcements.
I *HIGHLY* suggest downloading the
